natural progression. always surfed and at tha time- 1989- snowboarding was being promoted as `The alternative winter sport for surfers`. Even though winter is the best time of year to surf where i come from, the water has the ability to turn ya privates into, well, it gets cold. wasn`t hooked immediately, but it wasn`t long before it became a `way of life`, just like surfing. haven`t looked back since

There was this one time at band camp..... nah, one day at Treble Cone, i managed to `do` me shoulder on tha first run. Of course, i went up again, but couldn`t handle tha pain, so i side-slipped all tha way down to ski patrol to get it checked out. management didn`t even hesitate to give me money back- i didn`t have to ask! peolpe just have to be sensible and do whats in tha best interests of tha punter- isn`t tha customer always right??? i don`t think it`s right that peeps DEMAND stuff if they`re not happy with something..imo n.b. tha money went straight over tha bar at

...they`re just mentally challenged. And although they can`t lift heavy things, at least they`ve got tha money to pay somebody else to lift `em. Came across these `quotable` quotes. "My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7." David Beckham "I would not be bothered if we lost every game, as long as we won the league." Mark Viduka "Alex Ferguson is the best manager I`ve ever had at this level. Well, he`s the only manager I`ve actually had at this level. But he`s the best manager I`ve had." David Beckham "If you don`t believe you can win, there is no poin

boards
powwwers replied to jeremy chatterton's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
"very little flex/stiffness" , (or `pop`) basically equals stability. also good for edge-to-edge riding and for holding lines in turns,ie. they tend not to `wash-out`. stiff boards are also recommended for high speeds as `soft/flixible` boards are likely to get tha `speed hops`. hope that helps -

Fave part of Shiga Kogen

my favorite part of shiga kogen is the UG house! totally laid back vibe, awesome riders. they occasionally have parties at which tha girls flock to -
tha place certainly isn`t what it used to be! it appears to have lost its `appeal` of being a foreign place to slide. i`ve been going there since jan. `99 and the change is... remarkable. i no longer hold it in as high esteem as i used to. dont get me wrong, tha snow is still epic and there is tons of it, and i`ve never had an issue with tha terrain, but its all the other b.s. i.e. aussies.(not all mind you, but most) for tha first time this year, i got to witness what it means to be a `YOBBO`, in full flight, not impressive i really feel for tha `locals`. they more or less have had no

Down at the movie theater
powwwers replied to Too Orangey For Crows's topic in General off-topic discussions
i went to see `Super Size Me` yesterday. great movie/doco. anybody who cares about their body (esp. the insides) should watch this flick! also saw `the terminal` two weeks ago. although tha story was unbelievable, i thought it was well written, and i rekon tom hanks did a great job. its not far off bein a tear inducer " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> -
i switched from tha `mach 3` to tha new batterey powered thing just bcos becks uses one- isnt that reason enough can`t really say tha difference is `noticable` also, tha good people at gillete reckon its better, so i guess it must be hey? they wouldn`t lie to us would they???
